Hull launch bid for Lorient striker Vincent Aboubakar

Hull City are chasing Lorient striker Vincent Aboubakar.

The Mirror says Hull boss Steve Bruce is making a £9million move for Lorient's Cameroon striker Aboubakar - after being priced out of domestic talent.

Bruce has opened talks with the French club for their powerful front man who had his best-ever campaign last season and is keen to move to England.

The Tigers chief has money to spend from the sale of Shane Long and has drawn blanks with home-based strikers Danny Welbeck and Troy Deeney.
